To @ZZ whom it may con/cern: .i

v Be it known vthat I, BERRY A. BAXTER, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Mansfield, in the county of Richland and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Swivel- Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a class of burners designated simmer burners, which are used in conjunction with the ordinary burners in the consumption of gas for fuel or heat. It is well known to those who are skilled in the art of manufacturing stoves or other heating apparatus thatin the construction of the heating apparatus if provision is made for an auxiliary burner it adds greatly to the convenience, utility, and economy in operation. In the construction of the burners now in use the auxiliary or simmer burner-is combined with the ordinary burner in ayxed position.

The object of my invention is to construct an auxiliary burner separate and distinct from the ordinarg in order to provide faciliurner separate or in combination with one or more ordinary burners'.

Another object of my invention is to provide a means of Vigniting the gas flowing from the ordinary burners by means of the simmer burner@ f l I attain these and other objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a top plan view of my' device in `position to be used separate, with dotted lines showing position when used inconjunction with ordinary burners. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional side view on the line B B of Fig. 4,' showing valve, swivel, and burner. Fig. 3 is a side plan view of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of Fig. 2. l

Similar numerals refer to similar parts th'rou hout the several views.

' In t e construction of my device I provide 'a socket-support 1. An eXteriorl -threaded V projection 2 is made integral wit the support and is fitted to a screw-threaded aperture in the supply-pipe 3. A tapered bolt 4 is fitted to an aperture 5, provided in the socket, leaving the screw-threaded end 6 eX-` tendin below the lower face of the socket.

AA nee le-valve 7, having a boss 8, with a y the bolt 4, by means of which the valve is l supported and swivel movement given to the valve throu h the medium of the bolt. 4.

It will be. note that the swivel movementV permits of the auxiliary or simmering burner eing used separate, as shown in Fig. 1, or in conjunction with one or more burners by turning the valve on the bolt to the position shown by the dotted lines A and B. The valve-stem 10 is provided with a screwthreaded exterior and adapted to fit a screwthreaded aperture 11 in the valve. The end l2 of the valve-stem is tapered, so as to close the orifice 13 or to permit more orless gas to flow through from the chamber. A reducer 14, preferably of the kind shown, having screw-threaded ends adapted to be connected to the valve and the pipe 15. The free end of the pipe 15 is fitted to the inner periphery of the neck of the burner 16. This provides the medium through which the gas liows into the chamber for consumption to the burner. i

preferably made of sheet metal.

Reference-ligure 2114 designates the air-inlet. An ordinary packing-nut 21 is used to prevent the escape of gas.

It vwill be noted that the construction of simmer or auxiliary burner, as shown and described, so as to permit the swiveling or turning of the valve and. its appliances, greatly increases the eiiiciency of the heating apparatus and convenience in. use.

hat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In aga.`4 burner, comprising a socket, a tapered bolt fitted to an aperture of said. socket, said bolt having an annular groove' and an orifice provided inthe center communicatingv with a valve-chamber, said orifice' and annular g1oove`being connected by an I intersecting passage-way, a'needle-valve rotatably connected to the threaded portion of the bolt, a reducer connected to said valve, a tube itted to said reducer on one end, and a burner lcomposed of an up er and lower portion secured to the free end) of said tube.

2. The combination of a swivel-burner,y a socket, a bolt iitted to rotate in said socket, a
